Contests are governed by Maine law and are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

2) TIMING. The Contest will extend for the period set forth in the contest post on advertising, social, mailings, collateral, or signage. All entries must be received by CCFCU by the deadline specified in the contest in order to be included in the prize drawing.

3) ENTERING A CONTEST: There is no purchase necessary to enter or win any Contest.

Specifically, a question will be posted on the CCFCU Facebook wall by CCFCU (when a contest is being held). Commenting on the post will count as a contest entry. By entering a contest each contestant declares the he or she has complied with the Contest Rules. Further, the winner of the Contest must conform to all directions given by CCFCU or his/her participation in the Contest will be denied.

Non-compliance with any entry procedure will result in disqualification.

All Contest entries will become property of CCFCU to be used at the sole discretion of CCFCU and will not be acknowledged or returned. CCFCU may use Entrant’s name, age, image, biographical information; and Entrant will indemnify and hold harmless CCFCU if any claims or actions arise against CCFCU on account of any entry or Contest.

All entries submitted will be reviewed by CCFCU for eligibility and reviewed for content. If Entrant appropriately (as determined by CCFCU in its sole discretion) answers the previously stated question, and the Entrant otherwise meets all eligibility requirements, it may be made public.

9) LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: CCFCU expressly disclaims all responsibility and liability for any injury or damage to any person or property attributable to any Contest, including but not limited to: (i) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to the malfunctioning of any computer, cable, network, hardware or software; (ii) the unavailability or inaccessibility of any transmissions or telephone or Internet service; (iii) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process of a Contest; (iv) late, lost, stolen, undelivered, misdirected, delayed, inaccurate, garbled or incomplete Entries, or for any electronic, computer, printing, typographical, human or other error relating to or in connection with a Contest, including, without limitation, errors which may occur in connection with the administration of a Contest, the processing of Entries, the announcement of the Winner, or in any Contest-related materials (including the Rules); or (v) any injury or damage to persons or property, including but not limited to any Entrant’s computer, hardware, or software, which injury or damage may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Entrant’s participation or Entry in a Contest.

In such event, CCFCU reserves the right to award Prizes from among all eligible, non-suspect Entries received up to the time of the impairment.

10) DISPUTES: Entrant agrees that: (a) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, any Contest or Prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by an appropriate court located in the State of Maine; (b) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering any Contest, and in no event shall any Entrant be entitled to receive attorneys’ fees or other legal costs or expenses; and (c) each Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct or indirect damages, even if CCFCU has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and Entrants agree to indemnify and hold CCFCU harmless from and against any claims or demands asserted by any third parties against CCFCU relating to or arising out of any Contest.
